fozen_box with lists cannot converted to YAML #272
Description
Bug
Simple example
from box import Box test_box = Box({'a': [{'b': 123}, {'b': 222}]}, frozen_box=True) test_box.to_yaml()This yields the following error:
ruamel.yaml.representer.RepresenterError: cannot represent an object: {'b': 123}

The problem is that - when using frozen_box=True - that lists get converted to tuples. But then test_box.to_dict() does not remove the Boxes from tuples so we have this:
test_box.to_dict() # {'a': (Box({'b': 123}), Box({'b': 222}))}which should actually be this:
test_box.to_dict() # {'a': ({'b': 123}, {'b': 222})}
